In september of 2012 I got my cecum removed. Now it seems like I get so much gas, and I try to hold it in I get very bloated and its painful, sometimes makes my lower back hurt. Other times I try to hold it in but am not always successful. I eat very healthy and I have tried to cut out some leafy greens and even take beano but nothing is helping. Please if you have any advice I would appreciate it. I also had my gallbladder removed about 4years ago. Is this common after having bowel surgery??

Have you asked/told your doc about this issue? They have likely seen this with other patients and may have some good suggestions on how to deal with this.

Falling asleep right now...will think more later. Just wanted to let you know you are being heard.

Are you having diarrhea or constipation? Did you take antibiotics after your bowel surgery? If so you might have SIBO [small intestinal bacterial overgrowth.] SIBO can cause excessive gas.
